The new Max Fetcha model. I used the Forces Avatar parts as a base and worked my way from there to make it more accurate.

A BRAND NEW (?!?!?!) 3D model for my OC Max Fetcha. The textures for the clothing will need some work but that's the beauty of learning new stuff!!

He may be coming to CrossWorlds as a mod soon (if I can get the hang of modding Unreal)

New machine! It's a Giganto Liner themed after Supreme.
I'm honestly really proud of this one and it was a great way to use up that wasted custom slot!

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is very, very fun and I really love it! Though I have been struggling with finishing an online match without disconnecting but I digress.

I've created some of my own machines thanks to the very rich customization.

A whooole bunch of progress on the 2nd Sonic OC VTuber model I've worked on, Max Fetcha for @mars-x23.bsky.social !!

It's my first time doing: underfills, adding shading layers, & (soon) proper tail rigging. Very happy to learn. Now onto mouth rigging for today ๐Ÿ‘€

skaerial's Keira. I went for a more active pose and a view from behind instead of a basic standing pose. I am aware that her scythe is supposed to be bigger than her but I don't know if I could fit that on paper. The attack has been edited from its original transparent version to have a colored background.

Oh! By the way, I participated in Art Fight this year. I should really post about my other interests more.
This is one attack I did of @skaerial.bsky.social's Keira. I really like their design and I think the scythe is really cool!

I'd also like to wish a happy anniversary to Sonic Adventure 2 (well, technically it's Dreamcast version). I love this game to pieces and I'm happy that it even came out. This game along with other Sonic games have shaped who I am today and is incredibly also incredibly important for the franchise.

Two GUN Phoenixes. The model on the left, a Phoenix-3. The model on the right, a Phoenix-6. The Phoenix-6 goes unused as the only two Phoenixes are Phoenix-3's.

Did you know? The Hard Mode version of Meteor Herd (every version) contains an enemy not seen anywhere else in the game. This is the GUN Phoenix! It's a red and faster version of the GUN Hornet-3 enemy. There's also an unused Phoenix-6 variant!

A scene of Shadow standing on a ramp in Radical Highway. The light strips have been removed.

The displayer function for this object uses a drawing function I personally labeled ๐š๐š“๐š„๐š…๐š‚๐šŒ๐š›๐š˜๐š•๐š•๐™ผ๐š˜๐š๐šŽ๐š•, which I believe draws an object with the UVs scrolled by an input argument, to display the scrolling lights on the ramp. I nulled the function call for that, causing the lights to disappear.

Sonic looking at a group of dash panels but they're just the moving panel and lack the shell.

The main function for the dash panel object has a weird check for if a variable has a value and chooses one of two displayer functions depending on it. I set that variable to have a value, which caused them to use the other displayer.

I don't have any existing pictures of him, but Max is my first and oldest OC. His oldest design was a lot less detailed, having no bangs, a flat red t-shirt, and was overall less interesting.

Five panel comic

Panel 1 shows Shadow the Hedgehog in silhouette at night looking up at a broken moon. The Space Colony Ark is also visible.

Second Panel shows Shadow's head and arms folded. A wistful expression to establish his mood

Panel 3 shows Shadow's head turning, him reacting to someone behind him. Dialogue: "Shadow the Hedgehog. The Ultimate Lifeform."

Panel 4 continues, the shadowy figure floating. Shadow is in the distance, looking over his shoulder.

"There is something I must ask you."

Shadow: "Hm, so, you're the Eggman creation Sonic told me about..."

Panel 5 is a reveal in the forest of Sage, the AI daughter of Eggman, her expression stoic and hard to read.

Shadow: "Sage."

Shadow: "What is it you want from me?"

Page 2. Five panels.

Panel 1 shows Shadow and Sage in Silhouette. There is distance between them. Shadow looks over his shoulder as Sage speaks.

Sage: "You are a creation of Gerald Robotnik. Raised on the Space Colony Ark."

Panel 2: Shadow's listening, scowling at Maria being brought up by a stranger.

Sage: "In addition, you were close to Maria Robotnik, cousin to my father."

Panel 3: Shadow speaks dismissively. Eye narrowed, he's still not happy with Sage's presence and is wary.

Shadow: "Eggman told you about my history."

Sage: "Father created a file detailing your capabilities and potential contingencies to neutralize you.

Though it was thorough, it was lacking information that I deemed crucial."

Panel 4: Sage's face is shown in close up. She's facing down, reflective and showing emotional vulnerability.

Sage: "As father is my family, they are his. He would never admit to it, but knowing so little about them weighs on him."

Panel 5: Sage is now reaching out to Shadow, who is in the foreground. Sage is imploring him, being open.

Sage: "To that end, I must ask...Can you tell me what they were like? Gerald Robotnik and Maria."

Page Three: Seven Panels.

Panel 1: Shadow has his arms folded, looking over at Sage. He's not convinced by her words.

Shadow:
"You work for Eggman. Even if you call him father, you are a creation of his. Between how he dealt with Omega and his twisted mockeries of me, I know exactly how he treats his creations.

How long will it be before he decides youโ€™re a tool he no longer has use for?"


Panel 2: Shadow's mouth is shown as he changes stance, his posture altered as he's about to leave Sage.

Shadow:
"If you do have your own will, youโ€™d be wise to leave Eggman and find your own     answers."

Panel 3: Sage reacts by holding his hand, the contact is gentle as she tries to convince Shadow to share.

Sage:
"Wait. I know you have misgivings about father, and they are not unfounded. Even so, I would like to know about my familyโ€ฆif only for my own sake."

Panel 4: Shadow and Sage are shown in full near the wilderness, a tree and bush are shown to also make it clear Sage has closed the distance.

Sage:
"You have no obligation to tell me, butโ€ฆIt is clear they matter to you. "

"They must have been precious. I would like to know what made them so important."


Panel 5: Shadow shows surprise for a moment, emotionally open now.


Panel 6: Just as quick, Shadow hides it, turning his head and looking up.


Panel 7: Shadow and Sage are shown in silhouette on the hill. The sky shows shooting stars along with the broken moon.

Shadow:
"โ€ฆIf you are sure. I can tell you at least a little."

"Maria was my closest friend, and someone I gave my all forโ€ฆ"

This comic would not be possible without their hard work, and hopefully it captures both characters well.
